INL scientists have achieved a major breakthrough in fuel production for next-gen molten salt reactors, overcoming a key hurdle in making these advanced nuclear power systems viable and bringing ...

Danish innovator Copenhagen Atomics has secured a major financial endorsement from the European Innovation Council (EIC) to ...

The Natura Resources MSR-1, a liquid-fueled molten salt reactor was licensed last year by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission ...

Molten Salt Reactors (MSRs) are nuclear fission reactors in which either the fuel and/or the coolant is a molten salt. Molten salt is salt which liquifies at elevated temperatures and can store ...

The brainchild of nuclear physicist Alvin Weinberg, it was the first nuclear reactor to use molten salt as both a coolant for fuel and a component of the fuel itself. It was also the first reactor ...

Terrestrial Energy has begun final graphite irradiation testing for its IMSR reactor, a key step toward licensing its molten ...

These include the Danish Seaborg Compact Molten Salt Reactor (CMSR), the Moltex Stable Salt Reactor (SSR) and a number of designs that also use salt as coolant, but with solid fuel such as the ...

There have been some intriguing stories lately about a different kind of reactor – one cooled by molten salt instead of the more typical water-cooled designs comprising the great majority of the world ...

Kairos is trying to reinvent nuclear power. Its molten-salt-cooled reactor could generate safe, reliable, carbon-free electricity that’s potentially as cheap as power generated from natural gas.

Materials testing enables selection of graphite grade and licensing for its Generation IV Integral Molten Salt Reactor (IMSR) ...

"According to the relevant provisions of the Nuclear Safety Law of the People's Republic of China and the Regulations of the People's Republic of China on the Safety Supervision and Administration of ...

Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) has created its “first-ever” custom glass test cell to observe how gases behave inside a molten salt reactor.
